Question i5-8500 and H370 AORUS GAMING 3 WIFI (rev. 1.0)

[saymyname2007]

Hi everyone!

This is a noob question.

I will be building my pc for the first time, so I need to know this...

Will I need to update bios if I install i5-8500 on the H370 AORUS GAMING 3 WIFI (rev. 1.0) motherboard?

i5-8500 was launched on April 2, 2018.

and H370 AORUS GAMING 3 WIFI (rev. 1.0) was released on 2018/04/03.


Sorry if this is a stupid question , but I gotta ask this.

Thank you for your help in advance.

For the 8th Gen processors, no, you don't need to update the BIOS. You can work out of the box. It's only for the 9th Gen of Intel processors that need a BIOS update or a Z390 chipset.
